Out of the seven cult classic films, I chose the film featuring David Bowie
called The Man Who Fell To Earth. A film by Nicolas Roeg and based on
a novel by Walter Tevis. The movie itself is a science fiction in an art form
from the 1970s. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a story of an alien who comes to earth for a rescue mission to launch a ship to the home planet with water, but gets caught
in a twisting end.

The Man Who Fell to Earth is a daring exploration of science fiction as an art form. The story
of an alien on an elaborate rescue mission provides the launching pad for Nicolas Roeg’s visual tour de force, a
formally adventurous examination of alienation in contemporary life. Rock legend David Bowie, in his acting debut,
completely embodies the title role, while Candy Clark, Buck Henry, and Rip Torn turn in pitch-‐perfect supporting
performances. The film’s hallucinatory vision was obscured in the American theatrical release, which deleted
nearly twenty minutes of crucial scenes and details. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Roeg’s full uncut
version, in this exclusive new director-‐approved high-‐definition widescreen transfer.

The Man Who Fell To Earth

“There are quite a few science-fiction
movies scheduled to come out in the next
year or so. We shall be lucky if even one or
two are as absorbing and as beautiful as The
Man Who Fell to Earth.”

“The film is a more poignant (and infinitely
bleaker) portrait of extraterrestrial homesickness than ‘E.T.’”
-Variety
“Establishes [its] British director as one of the most
talented and imaginative new filmmakers in this part of
the world. It's a demanding effort which will provide a

movie that fell from the sky, origins unknown.”

The Man Who Fell To Earth Project

Creating a new dvd package from one of the Criterion Collection's top cult classics. I decided to choose one out of six that was provided for this project and The Man Who Fell To Earth was the winner. The other five were Seven Samuri, Breathless, My Own Private Idaho, Down by Law, and 3 Women. We were not able to use any photographs from the film. So we were to bring in elements of the movie in a different manner by creating hand made vectors or any other form.
